Key Democrat: 'Immigration Reform Is Not About Enforcement'

Democratic Rep. Gary Peters (D-MI), the Democrat U.S. Senate nominee in Michigan, told attendees of a town hall event in Detroit’s Mexicantown neighborhood that immigration reform was not about enforcing America’s laws.

“Immigration reform is not about enforcement,” Peters said in a short video clip obtained by Breitbart News. “It’s about finding a way to fix the problems in our immigration system.”

The event was held April 6, 2013, and was hosted by local pro-amnesty organization One Michigan—before the Senate passed the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill. The organization pushed for that bill and frequently advocates on its Facebook page on behalf of illegal aliens.

This comment could become problematic for Peters, who is losing steam in what previously seemed like a sure bet of a Senate race for Democrats. Republican Terri Lynn Land has been gaining on Peters, as a recent New York Times and CBS News poll put Land up a point over Peters.

Land has been fundraising successfully as well, raking in $3.3 million last quarter,according to the Washington Free Beacon. She bested Peters, who pulled in just under $2 million.

  1. He is right. The Immigration Reform Bill is not about enforcement, but all about opening the borders to flow millions of clueless takers into the country. Have you read it?

    Any wonder why it has had so much opposition?????

    Is anyone here on watch???

  2. Sounds like that statement, "Weather isn't climate you...."
    A typical Democratic thought process at the very least. And, anyone who says or thinks that way deserves to 'lose steam' in a campaign.
